These No Bake Coconut Lemon Energy Bites are made with only 6 ingredients, vegan and gluten-free and are a perfect quick healthy breakfast or snack!

We’re in that in between period where it’s almost summer, but still pretty much spring, but it’s starting to heat up, really quickly. Even if it’s not hot by you yet, you can definitely back pocket these Coconut Lemon Energy Bites for when it does. These Coconut Lemon Energy Bites are fruity, the perfect mix of spring and summery flavours. They’re rolled in delightful coconut flakes, which immediately makes it delicious and gives it amazing texture.

When I say these bites are good, I mean gooood. They taste like little bites of lemon cakes rolled in coconut heaven. I love that they’re made with totally whole food ingredients and filled with tons of energy, using simple ingredients such as lemon juice, coconut flakes, nuts and dates. That’s all that makes these amazing coconut lemon energy bites. The main sweetener here are dates, which are naturally sweet, chewy and loaded with tons of nutrients, vitamins and minerals such as fibre, vitamin A and vitamin K.

Grind the walnuts and almonds in a food processor, until a dough starts to form. Add the dates, lemon juice, ¼ cup shredded coconut flakes and salt and process until incorporated and the mixture begins to turn into a dough.

Roll the mixture into round balls using the help of saran wrap (wrap it around the bites to form a circle), until all the mixture is finished.

Roll the balls in the last ¼ cup shredded coconut flakes.

Place in the fridge for at least an hour, then enjoy!

Notes

This recipe is raw, gluten free and vegan.

HOW TO STORE

You can store these energy bites in the fridge in a zipped bag or air tight tupperware container for at least 3 weeks if the dates are fresh.

Hi Jessica, I was wondering what type of food processor you use for things like this? I have an actual “dedicated” food processor (as well as a Vitamix blender) and all too often, unless a recipe uses a LARGE batch of ingredients, most of the material stays under the blades and doesn’t get processed without a LOT of stopping and hand mixing, then starting again. Maybe I need a different food processor than the Braun that I have…?

I use a Hamilton Beach food processor which is about 3 years old. It works really well with my energy bites, and a blender would mush this up too much into a paste. I’ve never had to stop to blend it. I hope that helps!!
